We run and we run RaceBest. This blog is about running, but it's also about what we're up to at RaceBest.

We’re not the best at promoting ourselves. We’re so busy focusing on the day to day that we don’t get round to telling you all the cool things the RaceBest site does. So I’ll try and rectify that in future.

For instance, did you know that the green race calendar takes you to the chosen month in the race listings? Click (or tap) Jan and you’ll get the race listing starting January. So if you know when a race is held, you can go straight there in one move.

And organisers, did you know that you can send an email to all your entrants without having to download an entry list and without having to use your own email client? It’s really easy to email all your entrants and it will appear to them as coming from your email address, thus making it more likely that the email is received and making it easier for an entrant to reply to you.

Tell us what you like and what you don’t like about RaceBest. We think it’s good, but we know it could be better, and we want it to be the best (hence the name!). So if there are cool features you have used on other sites, tell us about them.

Change is in the air here at RaceBest. We’re in the middle of adding lots of new features for organisers and, following this, new features for runners too.

Organisers can now access their own, secure dashboard, where they can download current entrant lists 24/7 (which include derived age/gender categories and consistent club names), upload results and email all entrants directly from the site. New reports and functions are being developed as we speak to make sure that RaceBest remains the best for organisers and runners alike.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll use this blog to post tips and advice on using these new features, so keep your eye out for updates.
